After a short interlude, the atmosphere in the banquet hall barely returned to normal under the deliberate maintenance of the Xu family.

The guests on the second floor are basically elders, all of them have seen the world, and their temperament is naturally much calmer than that of young people.

When the old man was reminiscing about the past with a friend, while chatting, he caught a glimpse of the eldest grandson Shi Xuan next to him across the railing, staring at the downstairs with his eyes intently, not knowing what he saw, his eyes were not instantaneous.

"Xiao Xuan."

Old Man Shi took advantage of the situation and looked down and became aware in an instant, his face was slightly gloomy, and he said in a low voice with a warning, trying to make Shi Xuan come back to his senses.

It's a pity that the girl has already walked up the spiral staircase, and Shi Xuan can't take her eyes off.

The man had just come out of confinement, in fact, he was only restricted from freedom of movement, but it was only a few days, and despite the crisp suit and how energetic he looked, he was still much haggard with the naked eye, and the spirit that belonged to the young master in the past was greatly reduced.

Sheng Yuan looked around, didn't see Shi Yan, and then saw Old Man Shi, walked straight over, politely greeted the elders, and asked, "Grandpa Shi, have you seen Shi Yan?" ”

As soon as the words fell, the old man still hadn't answered.

"Sheng Kite." A low-pitched male voice sounded behind him.

Sheng Yuan turned around and saw Shi Yan, he seemed to be walking over quickly, a strand of black broken hair in front of the cold eyebrows reached the edge of her forehead, she instantly bent her eyebrows and shouted, "Shi Yan." ”

Found someone, Sheng Kite said hello at the same time, and then took Shi Yan's hand and left, she didn't seem to see that there was still a person standing behind the old man at all, and a superfluous look didn't go.

Watching the girl's movements extremely natural and holding her half-brother, without looking at him, Shi Xuan's throat overflowed with a familiar bitterness.

And the old man didn't seem to notice his grandson's depressed mood, his face was tense, unmoved, "Xiao Xuan, come here, accompany me to meet your grandfather Tang." ”

-

"Hey, cousin, just let me go with you."

Downstairs, Xu Wenxiu pestered Xu Lizhi and wanted to go with Xu Lizhi, Xu Lizhi replied with no emotion on his face, "I'm not going to play, I'm going to deal with business." “

But even so, Xu Wenxiu still refused to give up, "It's okay, cousin, I can assure you, I will stay quietly next to you, and I won't say a word if I don't do anything, it will definitely not affect you and cause you any trouble." ”

Xu Lizhi knows his cousin's personality too well, he can't do his studies, he can't work, in his world, except for eating and drinking, all he has to do is have fun, and he will not be interested in things that are slightly related to trouble.

When things go wrong, there must be demons.

Xu Lizhi turned around and stared at Xu Wenxiu expressionlessly, Xu Wenxiu couldn't bear this look, and immediately confessed, hehe, his expression was still a little shy?

“…… Actually, I actually want to meet my goddess. ”

Xu Lizhi: "? ”

Xu Wenxiu raised his hand and showed the screensaver of his mobile phone, "It's her!" ”

The latest fruit mobile phone, on the ultra-clear screen, the girl is wearing a hat, a slim pure black equestrian suit, a vivid side face, and she can easily ride the hurdles.

Xu Lizhi's silver-gray pupils were slightly stagnant, and this wallpaper ...... It is the photo of Sheng Kite in the screenshot of the circle of friends that Xu Wenxiu sent him before.

Speaking of which, Xu Wenxiu still complained a little, "Cousin, I asked you who she was before, but you knew it, but you just refused to tell me, fortunately, I have a fate with my goddess, and I met her here the next day after returning to China." ”

Xu Wenxiu's face was longing, Xu Lizhi looked at the wallpaper and didn't speak.

At this time, the housekeeper of the Xu family stepped forward and told Xu Lizhi, "Young Master, Miss Sheng Yuan is just heading upstairs. ”

Xu Lizhi said "um", today's incident was provoked by Zheng Baozhu's disrespectful words, Sheng Kite's approach, the Xu family has no position to blame, and it is reasonable, the Xu family first needs to apologize to Sheng Kite in person.

He moved, and was about to go to the stairs, when he looked up, he saw Sheng Kite walking down the stairs, and there was a boy beside her, who was extremely tall, wearing a black coat, with wide shoulders and long legs, and a slender body, and stretched out his hand to let the girl lead him.

Xu Lizhi's steps paused for a moment, and he stepped forward, "Sheng Kite." ”

The way was blocked, Sheng Yuan stopped, raised his eyes, and saw that it was Xu Lizhi, with a calm expression, "Something?" ”

"What happened just now ......" Xu Lizhi said sincerely, "On behalf of my cousin, I apologize to you, it was our family who didn't discipline her well, and my mother will send her away early tomorrow morning." ”

After a pause, he looked at Sheng Yuan, his eyebrows were straight and calm, and he said, "After that, our Xu family will always be in Beijing, and if you have anything in the future, if I can help, you can find me." ”

The housekeeper of the Xu family couldn't help but look sideways, he had always been aware of his young master's indifferent temperament, this was the first time he had heard the young master make such a promise, for Xu Lizhi, this was a heavy promise.

Sheng Kite's eyes were flat after hearing this, and she wanted to say that it was not necessary, she didn't need to, but before she could speak, she heard a few low coughs from her side.

Sheng Kite turned his head, Shi Yan bowed his head slightly, the back of his hand against his lips, and his slender phalanges were pale.

She instantly tensed, "What's wrong?" ”

Sheng Kite remembered for the first time that the cub had been drenched in the rain two days ago, and it was likely that she was cold because of the rain, she almost instinctively clenched Shi Yan's hand, feeling that his fingertips were slightly cold, and then raised her hand and directly touched Shi Yan's forehead, Shi Yan was in this position, hanging her eyelashes, and obediently did not move.

With a normal temperature and no fever, Sheng Kite breathed a sigh of relief, "Is there anything else uncomfortable?" ”

Shi Yan's voice was low, "No." ”

He looked at her and said, "Sheng Kite, it's so boring here. ”

Sheng Kite is as good as a stream, "Then let's go." ”

After speaking, Sheng Yuan didn't even forget that he hadn't replied to Xu Lizhi's words, and led Shi Yan to the exit of the banquet hall, and the driver and bodyguards behind him all followed.

The housekeeper was stunned, "Young master, this ......"

Xu Wenxiu, who was on the side, was not calm at all, and asked urgently, "Cousin, who is that boy?" Don't tell me the goddess already has a boyfriend! ”

"It's not."

Xu Wenxiu still didn't breathe a sigh of relief.

Xu Lizhi silently looked at the back of the girl leaving, and said word by word, "It's her fiancé." ”

Xu Wenxiu directly let out a sharp popping sound, crying in his mouth and shouting, "Maman, I'm out of love!" "Run.

Xu Lizhi was still standing in place, his silver-gray eyes couldn't see what he was thinking, he stood for a while before turning around, and when he raised his eyes, he caught a glimpse of the curtain in a box next to the banquet hall on the second floor, most of which was brightly lit, and two men were sitting by the window, staring downstairs.

With the decision to return to the family business, Xu Lizhi needs to start to recognize all the people in the family circle.

It's not just Kyoshi.

A thick stack of character profiles, each with a corresponding name and photo.

Xu Lizhi thought he was wrong.

Otherwise, why would the two rulers of the Xiao family, who were far away at the head of the Xishan City family, appear in the capital city.

There are so many characters, but Xu Lizhi has a deep impression of these two.

——The family infighting has always been cruel, the young brothers who lost their shelter after their parents died and couldn't escape the ending of becoming cannon fodder, but for some reason, they returned after just one year of leaving, I don't know what means were used, overnight, the Xiao family was completely reshuffled, and the two brothers surnamed Xiao regained the helm.
